Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral root ض-ج-ع, which conveys the idea of lying down or reclining. The base verb ضَجَعَ means to lie down. Form III ضَاجَعَ, meaning to lie with someone, carries the reciprocal sense typical of that verb pattern. مُضاجَعَة is the verbal noun of ضَاجَعَ, and it functions today as the standard formal term for sexual intercourse in medical, legal, and religious texts.
